History of Motorcycles

Motorcycles took the design of the bicycle and ran with it. Who wants to expend all that energy peddling anyways? The first motorized bicycle came onto the scene in 1885 designed by Gottlieb Daimler. It was the first successful attempt to attach an internal combustion engine to a bicycle. Others were later able to make similar models that combined the traditional bicycle with an engine. But production was slow and time-consuming.

Mass production became possible in 1895 with DeDion-Buton’s engine design. It was everything companies needed: small, light, and capable of half a horsepower. Designers around the world took from the design to sell their own version. 

When World War One hit, American and European armies used motorcycles to deliver messages and engage in reconnaissance. At one point, around 1/2 of Harley-Davidson® motorcycles made were purchased by the US military. 

As the war came to a close, motorcycle production continued. More and more people bought these newfangled vehicles as a way to commute to work, travel around, and enjoy life. Their popularity continued to grow, bringing us to today. Many people across the country own a motorcycle.
 

Types of Motorcycles

There’s no shortage of motorcycle types! One way to categorize motorcycles is by the number of wheels. Bikes operate with two wheels and are much more common. These embody the classic motorcycle “look” and are much sleeker. Riders use their body to steer left and right by leaning to one side. Trikes, as their name suggests, are built with three wheels. They offer greater stability, easier handling, and larger storage space. Riders use “direct steering” to control these motorcycles - no leaning required. 

Another categorization of motorcycles is by types of trips they’re built for. Cruiser motorcycles are designed to cruise down highways. They’re fast, they’re bold, and they’re going to turn heads. They’re full of great features to boost aesthetic design like blacked-out frames or ape hanger handlebars. Touring motorcycles are meant to tour around on long trips. They may not be as stunning looking, but they offer the comfort needed to enjoy several hour-long rides. Some offer luxury items like a built-in sound system.
